2027 is going to be un-pho-gettable!

Published 3 months ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader,

Thanks to everyone who voted in our survey a couple of weeks back on where our 1st group trip of 2027 should be located!

We have tallied the votes from you all + across our social media channels, and are SUPER excited to announce that we are partnering with TrovaTrip to host an all women group trip to Vietnam from February 28 - March 6, 2027!

We LOVE the itinerary we have planned because it is filled with culture, food, and history. You can see the full itinerary plus pricing HERE, but below are the highlights:

The tour kicks off with a food tour of Hanoi, where you'll get to try Northern Vietnamese traditional food like bahn mi and ca phe sua da (egg coffee - it tastes better than it sounds!).

Train approaches narrow street lined with buildings and people.

On Day 3, we'll transfer to Nin Binh where we will have a 45 minute bicycle ride through villages and past temples. After having a traditinoal Vietnamese lunch, we'll hop in a traditional sampan boat to tour the UNESCO-listed Trang An. We'll see cave systems and serene landscapes, and end the day by climbing the 500 steps up Dragon Mountain to see unmatched views of the surrounding scenery.

On Day 4, we will visit a local family farm within the Van Long Nature Reserve, where you'll get to try your hand at rice farming and fishing. After our hands on experiences, we'll eat a traditional lunch in the family's home. Then we'll get in smaller sampan boats to explore the local waterways.

We'll spend Day 5 and 6 on a Halong Bay cruise! We will float past massive rock formations that jut out of the water, partake in a Vietnamese cooking class, and take a smaller bamboo boat through Hang Sang Toi (AKA Dark and Bright Cave). Optional activities include kayaking, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and squid fishing on the boat!

We'll depart on Day 7 after having a final breakfast together.

The trip will be opening up to newsletter subscribers on Monday, June 1st!

The first 8 people who sign up for the trip will get early bird pricing at $2,150 / person. A deposit of $537.50 is all that's required to reserve your spot!

Have questions? Hit reply to this email, and we'll be happy to answer them!

From our suitcase to yours,
